II. FRAME OF THEORIES
This chapter discusses the following points: review of previous research, review of related literature concept of reading comprehension, concept of narrative text,
concept of self-questioning strategy, procedure of teaching reading
comprehension through self-questioning strategy, theoretical assumption, and the hypothesis.
2.1. Review of Previous Research
In relation to this research, there are several previous studies which have been conducted by some researchers, see, e.g. Forsten, 2006; Hartman, 2007; and
Fetrisia, 2011.
Forsten 2006 conducted his study for Students College in Missouri. As the result of his study about self questioning strategy, he found that the students can
be more active during the learning process. During the process, this strategy can be motivation for the learners’ interest and trigger the learners to become actively
involved in the lesson. It was lead the students to be better in comprehending the reading text by producing some questions by themselves.
Hartman 2007 conducted his study for primary students in New Orland. He has found that when students generate questions by themselves, the students were
covertly asking themselves for the questions that they have formulated.
Meanwhile, Fetrisia 2011 has conducted the research at MA Ma’ Arif 4 Kalirejo
using self-questioning strategy to investigate whether it can be used to increase students’ reading comprehension or not. As the result, she found that the
students’ scores were increased significantly after she implemented the self- questioning strategy. She convinces that self questioning strategy carries benefits
toward students’ reading comprehension.
However, there was still one issue which has not been studied, that was self questioning strategy related to the study about comprehending the narrative text
for the junior high school students. In short, based on the explanation above, the researcher proposed her research by implementing self-questioning strategy in
order to increase st udents’ reading comprehension of narrative text and also their
achievement in reading comprehension.
2.2. Review of Related Literature
For further explanation about the implementing of reading technique for successful reading, the researcher explains some related literatures about the
